亚当斯大道上的燃烧疑云

当然。

Sure.

但当警方向这对夫妇的朋友打听时，了解到一些情况，让保罗的行为有了背景解释。

But as they asked around among the couple's friends, police learned a few things that put Paul's behavior into context.

也许他并不比她更该受责备。

Maybe he wasn't any more to blame than she was.

他们的关系一片混乱。

Their relationship was chaotic.

这一点毋庸置疑，绝对如此。

There's no disputing that, absolutely.

但在这段关系中，无论是身体上、言语上还是情感上，他并不比她更暴力。

But he was no more violent in the relationship than she was, whether it be physically, verbally, emotionally.

当警方一点一点收集证据、四处打听保罗的情况时，其中一人注意到一些不太对劲的地方。

As police gathered evidence bit by bit, asking around about Paul, one of them noticed something a little odd.

保罗告诉了一位朋友——顺便说一下，他也是一名警察——关于火灾当天自己行踪的两个略有不同的版本。

Paul told a friend, also a policeman by the way, two slightly different stories about his whereabouts the day of the fire.

第一次谈话，火灾当天，这位警员朋友报告说，保罗说自己一整天都不在家。

First conversation, day of the fire, reported the cop friend, Paul said he wasn't home all day.

第二次谈话是在第二天，保罗说他去水烟吧的路上短暂回过家。

Then second conversation the next day, Paul said he stopped briefly at home en route to his hookah cafe.

正如我们所说，有点奇怪。

As we say, odd.

但人的记忆可能会出错。

But people's memories can be tricky.

这一点小小的差异，是否足以让人怀疑他涉嫌谋杀？

Was that one little difference enough to add up to suspicion of murder?

警方显然这么认为，尤其是当他们把这一点和他们发现的其他线索结合起来后。

Police apparently thought so, especially once they added that to the rest of what they'd discovered.

保罗被逮捕了。

Paul was arrested.

我要把那是什么？

I will my What's that?

我会从我的律师那里得知。

I will be from my attorney.

好的。

Okay.

他们

They

警方以纵火和谋杀罪指控保罗·祖莫维茨，这让一些观察者感到奇怪。

charged Paul Zumovitz with arson and murder, which struck some observers as strange.

毕竟，当时只存在那一点小小的不一致。

After all, there had been just that one little inconsistency.

尽管保罗和珍妮弗有时会吵架，但他们看起来也深爱着彼此。

And though Paul and Jennifer did fight sometimes, they seemed crazy in love too.

天哪，保罗甚至还在为她挑选钻石戒指。

Paul had been shopping for a diamond ring for heaven's sake.

保罗内心有一部分仍在为他的女友哀悼。

There was a part of Paul that was mourning his girlfriend.

而他内心还有另一部分，不明白自己为什么会被拘押。

And then there was a part of him that was he didn't understand why he was in custody.

他也不明白，为什么自己不能为女朋友痛哭一场。

And he didn't understand why he couldn't just cry for his girlfriend.

还有他的生活，已经彻底改变了100%。

And for his life, that had just changed 100%.

确实如此。

It certainly did.

保罗·祖莫维茨被送往监狱，等待一级谋杀罪的审判。

Paul Zumad was taken to jail to await trial on a charge of murder in the first degree.

大错特错，保罗·祖莫特说。

Big mistake, said Paul Zumot.

我第一次见到他时，他反复告诉我，你知道的，我被拘押，这一切都会过去的，你知道的？

When I first saw him, all he was really still telling me is, you know, me being in custody, all of this is gonna blow blow over with, you know?

他们会意识到，我不是那个干这事的人。

They're gonna realize I'm not the person who did this.

在阿德森大道火灾发生后的几天里，保罗·祖马德被控谋杀并被押送入狱。

In the days after the fire on Addison Avenue, after Paul Zumad was charged with murder and hauled off to jail.

从保罗的角度来看，帕洛阿尔托的事件似乎在混乱与否认中停滞了；而那些爱珍妮弗的人则承受着无果的悲痛。

Events in Palo Alto seemed to freeze somehow, in confusion and denial from Paul's point of view, and unrequited grief among the people who loved Jennifer.

很痛苦。

It hurt.

非常痛苦。

It hurt a lot.

这种悲痛之所以是无果的，是因为尽管他已被逮捕，保罗却迟迟不作答辩，而这正是整个事件的关键所在。

Unrequited partly because for some reason, though he'd been arrested, Paul wasn't entering a plea, which is what this was all about.

珍妮弗的朋友和家人在保罗的水烟吧外举行了烛光守夜活动。

Candlelight vigils outside Paul's Hookah Lounge by Jennifer's friends and family.

我们决定每天晚上都站在他的店铺前，直到他作出答辩。

We decided to stand in front of his establishment every night until he made his plea.

最终，不出所料，保罗作了无罪答辩。

Eventually, no surprise, Paul did plead, not guilty.

检察官查克·吉林厄姆不得不翻阅这段持续两年的恋情记录，其中充满了限制令、激烈的争吵、抓痕、淤青和多次拨打911的记录。

And prosecutor Chuck Gillingham found himself sifting through the records of a two year romance studded with restraining orders, bitter quarrels, scratches, bruises, nine eleven calls.

我的意思是，这两个人总是分分合合，她嘴上也从不输给他。

I mean, these were two people that were makeups and breakups, she gave verbally as good as she got.

在他们一次激烈争吵后，保罗被命令参加愤怒管理课程。

After one of their flare ups, Paul was ordered to attend anger management classes.

事实上，他就在火灾当天去上了第一节课。

Went to one the day of the fire, in fact.

那么，为什么两个如此频繁争吵的人却能维持如此长久的关系呢？

So why did two people who fought so much stay together for so long?

结果发现，有一段珍妮弗自己的录音。

There was, it turned out, an audio recording of Jennifer herself.

吉林厄姆拿到了这段录音，并听了她的解释。

Killingham got hold of it, listened to her explanation.

他俘获了你的心，所以头几个月简直美妙至极。

He wins your heart, so the first couple months is amazing.

他让你神魂颠倒，到处都是蜡烛和鲜花，不是贵重物品，而是充满浪漫和甜言蜜语，带你到处炫耀，还想把你介绍给每个人。

Sweeps you off your feet, candles everywhere, flowers, not money items, but just romantic and sweet talking and parading you around and wanting to introduce you to everybody.

他让我爱上他、钦佩他，因为他欣赏我，这让我开始信任他的看法，以及他对我的评价和想法。

It gets me loving him and admiring him that he admires me, and then it makes me trust his opinion and what he says about me and thinks about me.

所以一旦他达到这个目的，他就立刻翻脸，骂我丑、胖，是个拜金女。

So then as soon as he gets to that point, he flips it and calls me ugly, fat, a gold digger.

顺便说一下，她正在跟这个人说话，希沙姆加纳。

By the way, the person she's talking to, Hishamganma.

记住，他是保罗告诉警方他和珍妮弗都害怕的兄弟之一，但这里她却向他倾诉心事。

Remember, he's one of the brothers Paul told police he and Jennifer were afraid of, but here she was confiding in him.

请注意，这段电话对话是在火灾发生前几个月录下的。

Mind you, it's a phone conversation that was recorded a few months before the fire.

但那时她对保罗并不满意，至少当时是这样。

But then she was not happy about Paul, not at that point anyway.

我有他毁坏我所有家具的图片，他还踢坏了我的车。

I have pictures of the damage that he did to all of my furniture, and he kicked kicked in my car.

有人在我去上班的路上，看见他在星巴克朝我脸上吐口水。

Somebody saw him at Starbucks spit in my face on my way to work.

但那之后，情况显然发生了变化。

But things clearly changed after that.

记得吗？他们当时恩爱得不得了。

Remember, they were all lovey dovey.

就在火灾发生的前一晚，保罗还在谈论结婚的事。

Paul was even talking marriage the night before the fire.

而如今，仅仅一年多后，他却因谋杀她而受审，听着检察官查克·吉林厄姆向陪审团讲述保罗与珍妮弗关系的最后几天。

And now here he was not much more than a year later on trial for her murder, listening to prosecutor Chuck Gillingham take the jury inside the last days of Paul's relationship with Jennifer.

吉林厄姆是怎么做到的？

How did Gillingham do that?

珍妮弗的手机。

Jennifer's cell phone.

侦探们发现，这一点相当奇怪：她的大部分短信记录都被删除了。

Detectives discovered, and this was rather curious, that most of her text message history had been deleted.

但这些消息并没有消失。

But the messages had not disappeared.

帕洛阿尔托警方设法找到了一位远在新罕布什尔州的手机专家，他对那部手机进行了深入排查，成功恢复了珍妮弗和保罗在她生命最后几个月里数千条被删除的短信。

The Palo Alto cops managed to find a phone expert all the way across the country in New Hampshire who had a very deep look into that cell phone and was able to pull up thousands, literally thousands of deleted text messages between Jennifer and Paul in the last few months of her life.

天啊。

And, oh, boy.

来自珍妮弗。

From Jennifer.

你就是一个自私、冷血、不知感恩的人渣，骗子，说谎者。

You're nothing but a selfish, cold hearted, ungrateful human being, scam artist, liar.

愤怒至极。

Furious.

这条短信看起来不像普通的争吵。

That one didn't read like just any old quarrel.

还有时间点。

And the timing.

珍妮弗在为他精心举办的生日派对结束时，发了这条短信给保罗，而那时她只剩下大约十二个小时的生命。

Jennifer sent that text to Paul right at the end of the elaborate birthday party she threw for him, when she had perhaps twelve hours left to live.

事实上，她因为某件事非常生气，以至于派对后拒绝去水烟吧，穿着断了的高跟鞋一路走回家，途中一直在发短信。

In fact, she was so upset about something that she refused to go to the hookah lounge after the party, walked all the way home on a broken heel, texting all the way.

珍妮弗，很好，离我远点。

Jennifer, good, stay away from me.

我刚到家。

I just got home.

保罗，这次我真的要永远远离你了。

Paul, I'm staying away this time for good.

这真是个结束我生日的方式。

What a way to end my birthday.

珍妮弗晚上独自穿着断了的高跟鞋走回家，还这么生气，我简直不知道有没有见过她这么愤怒过。

For Jennifer to walk home alone at night with a broken heel and upset, she had to have been I don't even know if I've ever even seen her that mad.

但那是前一天晚上的事。

But that was the night before.

愤怒的消息来回发送。

Angry messages buzzing back and forth.

随后，手机记录显示，这对情侣在夜间发生了关系，而在珍妮弗次日早晨发送的短信再次变得愤怒不已。

Then as the cell phone revealed, the pair made love during the night before Jennifer's morning text messages again turned red hot angry.

争执的焦点似乎是她声称他欠她的债务。

The subject seemed to be a debt she claimed he owed her.

大约在上午10点30分到10点45分，接近11点时，她再次提及那些短信，告诉他最好带张支票过来，否则就别再回来，否则她将在当天凌晨3点前去圣何塞警察局报案。

Right around 10:30, 10:45 into eleven, roughly sixteen in the morning, she is now referring back to those text messages and telling him, you better bring a check and don't come back, or she's going to the San Jose Police Department to file charges by 03:00 that day.

这是任何人收到的她最后一条短信。

And that's the last text message that anyone gets from her.

这是她与任何人最后的联系。

That's the last contact she has ever with anyone.

据称，吉林厄姆在中午前就失去了理智，勒死了珍妮弗，然后开车去加油站买了一罐汽油，之后返回家中附近。

That said Gillingham just before noon is when Paul lost his temper and choked Jennifer to death, then drove to a gas station, bought a can of gasoline, later returned home towards the house.

检察官表示，他在途中删除了她发给他的所有愤怒短信。

And somewhere along the way, said the prosecutor, he erased all those angry text messages she sent him.

被告和她之间的每一条短信，整整几个月的所有短信，全都被删得一干二净。

Every single one between the defendant and her, every single one is gone, months worth.

随后吉林厄姆称，保罗用詹妮弗的手机给她的朋友们发送了虚假短信，让大家以为她还活着。

And then said Gillingham Paul used Jennifer's cell phone to send fake texts to her friends so they believed she was still alive.

为了佐证这一说法，吉林厄姆请了一位专家证人出庭作证，证人证实，整个下午，保罗手机发出的短信和詹妮弗手机发出的短信，都连接到了部分相同的信号塔。

To support that claim, Gillingham introduced an expert witness who testified that texts from Paul's phone and texts from Jennifer's phone were hitting some of the same cell towers all afternoon.

也就是说，她的手机当时肯定就在保罗的车里，和他待在一块儿。

So her phone must have been right there with him in his car.

这就是为什么当她没能赴约和朋友罗伊·恩德曼见面时，罗伊收到的来自她的短信根本说不通。

Which is why when she missed a meeting with her friend Roy Endeman, the texts he got from her didn't make sense.

这些内容完全不是对罗伊之前发给她的消息的合理回复。

They weren't a sensible response to the message he'd sent her.

而且他还收到了两次一模一样的短信。

In fact, he got the same text twice.

她根本没现身，她的手机也一直关机。

She didn't show up and her phone was off.

所以当我收到那条重复的短信时，我有点担心，因为她没有回应我发的内容。

And so as soon as I got that repeat text message, I was kind of worried because she wasn't responding to what I was saying.

珍妮弗不知去向。

Jennifer was nowhere to be found.

珍妮弗已经死了。

Jennifer was dead.

现在，检察官吉林厄姆希望陪审团思考的是，火灾发生很久之后发生了什么，或者没发生什么。

Now what prosecutor Gillingham wanted the jury to think about was what happened or didn't happen much later after the fire.

当时的场景是：房子着火了，保罗站在街外看着火势。

Here was the scene, house burning, Paul standing on the street outside watching the fire.

此时，据称他并不知道珍妮弗是在屋里还是在屋外，是生是死。

At this point, he supposedly didn't know if Jennifer was inside or outside, whether she was alive or dead.

但是

But

而当时他在那里时，打了38通电话和发送了若干条短信，其中有两条是发给珍妮弗的。

And at the time that he was there, he made 38 calls and text messages, two of which went to Jennifer.

在这两次情况下，他都没有给詹妮弗留下消息。

And in neither occasion did he leave Jennifer a message.

他给其他人留了消息，和别人交谈过，比如多次给同一个朋友发短信，但在那两个小时里，他从未离开过那个地点去寻找詹妮弗，哪怕只是走到被封锁街道的另一边。

He left messages for others, he spoke with others, he text messages for instance the same friend multiple times, But in that two hour period, at no time does he leave that location to look for Jennifer perhaps, to go to the other side of the blocked off street.

你知道，如果他只打过一次电话、发过一条短信，那肯定已经足够了。

You know, if he called her and texted her once, surely that's enough.

我的意思是，她会回他电话的。

I mean, she'll call him back.

手机记录实际上可以证实这一点。

Cell phone records, actually bear out.

当她不在他身边时，如果联系不上她，他会一天给她打两三百次电话或发短信。

That he's a person that would call or text her two to 300 times a day when he wasn't around her if he wasn't able to get ahold of her.

他的沉默，尤其是在犯罪现场，显得格外刺耳，因为根本没有短信。

His silence, especially at the crime scene, was deafening because there's no text message.

我会向陪审团提出——我也确实这么做了——他站在那个地方，是因为他希望有人看到他在那里。

I would submit, and I did to the jury, that he stood at that location because he wanted people to see him there.

但陪审团如何能确定保罗有罪呢？

But how could the jury be sure Paul was guilty?

检察官吉林厄姆提出了她的观点。

Prosecutor Gillingham offered her.

还记得 Rosie 吗？那只受过专业训练、能嗅出最微弱助燃剂气味的警犬，那种常用于纵火案的助燃剂？

Remember Rosie, the skillful police dog trained to alert to the faint est whiff of accelerant of the sort used in arson fire?

当她嗅到保罗·祖莫特的一些衣物时，发出了警报。

She alerted when she smelled some of Paul Zumot's clothes.

确实可疑。

Suspicious, yes.

不过，这并非确凿无疑的证据。

Though not exactly ironclad evidence.

正如你们将看到的，得益于保罗的知名辩护律师——那位以辩护斯科特·彼得森而闻名的律师。

As you'll see, courtesy of Paul's high profile defense attorney, the man famous for defending Scott Peterson.

他叫什么名字？

His name?

马克·加拉戈斯。

Mark Garagos.

我有很多客户，我确信他们确实犯了被指控的那些行为。

I've had many a client who I have no doubt was capable of the acts that they were accused of.

但这人不是其中之一。

This is just not one of them.

嘿，各位。

Hey, guys.

我是威利·盖斯特。

Willie Geist here.

今天我们庆祝《周日》节目开播十周年，特别举办了一场现场对话活动，我们的嘉宾是全球最著名的明星之一——莱恩·雷诺兹。

辩护律师马克·加拉戈斯因代理诸多艰难且备受瞩目的案件而声名鹊起，其中最著名的便是斯科特·彼得森案。

Defense attorney Mark Garagos has made a name for himself defending clients in difficult and highly celebrated cases, not the least the Scott Peterson trial.

但为保罗·祖莫特辩护将面临自己的一系列挑战。

But defending Paul Zumot would present its own set of challenges.

祖莫特被指控杀害了女友詹妮弗·斯凯西，随后试图纵火焚屋以掩盖事实。

Zumot was accused of killing his girlfriend, Jennifer Skipsey, and then trying to hide that fact by burning the house down.

但随着审判开始，检方还将他定性为施暴者、暴力分子，而加拉戈斯决心改变这一形象。

But as the trial began, he'd also been pegged by the prosecution as an abuser, a violent man, an image Garrigos set out to change.

他们俩都充满激情，有时浪漫，有时情绪激烈，正如你所描述的那样。

They both were passionate, romantic at times, hot at times as you would characterize it.

我认为这绝不是单方面的。

I don't think it was a one way street by any means.

首先，加拉戈斯尽其所能剔除那些可能因愤怒的短信或关于祖莫特脾气的传闻而产生偏见的潜在陪审员。

For a start, Carrigo's tried best he could to weed out possible jury members who might have been unduly swayed by angry text messages or stories about Zumot's temper.

陪审员要做的，或者你希望陪审团做到的，是愿意帮助你的当事人，并设身处地为你的当事人着想。

What jurors do or what you want to get a jury to do is to want to help your client and to kind of walk in the shoes your client.

当他在陈述案情时，加里戈斯试图重新诠释那场火灾前夜著名派对之后发生的一系列事件。

And then when he presented his case, Carrigo set out to reframe the events after that infamous party the night before the fire.

派对在一个地方举行，是为保罗的生日举办的，由詹妮弗策划。

The party was at a place and it was for Paul's birthday, And it was planned by Jennifer.

当时大约有十四到十八位他们的密友在场。

And the I had maybe 14 to 18 of their close friends that were there.

根据所有人的描述，派对上一切都很顺利。

And by all accounts at the party, everything was great.

后来的争执和那些愤怒的短信，加里戈斯说，这不过是保罗和詹妮弗一贯的相处方式。

And the argument later, the angry texts, that was just the way Paul and Jennifer always were, said Garrigos.

他的证据是什么？

His proof?

在那些愤怒的短信往来之后，发生了什么？这是祖莫特在警方访谈中的描述。

After those angry text message exchanges, here's what happened, as Zumwat described in his police interview.

我们聊了天，吸了水烟，一切都很好。

We talked, we smoked hookah, everything is fine.

我们做了我们该做的事，你知道的。

We did what we did, you know.

我们睡了，我告诉他给了我两片阿普唑仑。

We slept at the I told he gave me two Xanaxes.

我想她之前可能已经吃了一两片，但她当着我的面又吃了两片，然后我们就去睡觉了。

She I think, probably, she already took one or two before, but she took two more in front of me, and we just went to bed.

我醒来后就离开了。

And I got up and left

所以你们睡在一起了？

So you guys slept

同时睡的吗？

at the same time?

是的。

Yes.

哦，是的。

Oh, yeah.

对。

Yeah.

好的。

Okay.

所以你们和好了？

So you guys made up?

我和好了。

I made up.

对。

Yeah.

而且，是的，我和好了，然后我们有一个视频。

And, yeah, I made up, and then I have we have a video.

我的意思是，我们给自己拍了视频。

I mean, we video ourselves.

说实话啊，其实我不该说这个的，但这个能证明我当时在房子里。

I mean, honestly, but I shouldn't be saying that, but that's proof that I was in the house.

她的手机。

Her phone.

她拍的视频。

Her video.

是你们自己拍的那个视频吗？

This video of yourself?

你这话是什么意思？

What do you mean?

我们……我们做爱了还拍了视频。

We we have sex with video.

所以……所以你昨晚和她做爱还录了视频？

So So you had sex last night with her video.

对。

Yeah.

果然，当警察查看珍妮弗的手机时，发现了一段视频。

Sure enough, when police looked at Jennifer's cell phone, there was a video.

她在被谋杀前数小时与保罗发生性关系的视频。

She and Paul having sex after their fight hours before she was murdered.

如此热情洋溢，任何观看这段视频的人都不会觉得她当时准备去杀他。

So enthusiastically that anybody who watches this is never gonna, have the, impression or take away from that that this was somebody who was ready to kill her.

至于检察官吉林汉姆提出的那项蜂窝塔证据，似乎显示保罗随身携带着珍妮弗的手机，并以她的名义发送虚假信息？

And as for that cell tower evidence that prosecutor Gillingham presented, which seemed to show Paul had Jennifer's phone with him and was sending out fake messages in her name?

加雷戈斯说，那完全是胡说八道。

That was nonsense, said Garregos.

那是其中一条被彻底推翻的信息。

That was one of the pieces of information that was absolutely imploded.

我们请来了运营商的工程师，让他亲自来说明，他查看了证据后表示，所谓手机在同一基站间信号往返的说法并不成立。

We went and got the engineer, the actual engineer, from the carrier to come in and say he looked at the evidence and what this guy said was the phone pinging off the same towers was not.

那只是手机数据合并后的结果。

It was just merged data from the cell phone.

这为什么重要？

Why is that important?

因为加雷戈斯说，检方自己的时间线本应证明保罗·祖莫特无罪。

Because, says Garrigos, the prosecution's own timeline should have cleared Paul Zumot.

调查人员表示，詹妮弗是在火灾发生数小时前被勒死的，而火灾最早也只在大约下午6:30点燃。

It is, investigators said Jennifer was strangled several hours before the fire started and it was lit no earlier than about 06:30PM.

但当天上午早些时候，在保罗离开该地区后，加雷戈斯说，詹妮弗仍然活着，亲自用她的手机发送了真实而非伪造的短信。

But early in the afternoon, after Paul had left the area, Carrigo says, Jennifer was still alive, sending real, not fake, text messages herself from her phone.

根据所有说法，她在凌晨1:17时还活着。

By all accounts, she was alive at 01:17.

好的。

Okay.

好的？

Okay?

而在凌晨1:17，保罗并不在房子里。

And at 01:17, Paul was not at the house.

那么保罗当时在哪里？

So where was Paul?

他正要去帕洛阿尔托警察局取文件。

Trying to pick up paperwork at the Palo Alto police station.

然后他在Hookah酒吧出现，监控录像显示他大约在下午1:37在那里。

And then at the Hookah Lounge where he appears on security cam footage around 01:37PM.

辩护律师称，从那里之后，他前往了大约18英里外的情绪管理课程。

And from there, says the defense attorney, he headed to his anger management class about 18 miles away.

途中，他在这家餐厅用品店停了一下，摄像头拍到他大约在3:30在那里。

On the way, he stopped at the restaurant depot seen here on camera around 03:30.

所以，加里戈斯说，保罗根本没有足够的时间去小屋、勒死他的女友，再往她身上泼汽油。

So there simply wasn't time in between, said Garrigos, for Paul to go to the cottage, strangle his girlfriend, and douse her body with gasoline.

这是一个坚实的不在场证明，加里戈斯说。

A solid alibi, said Garrigos.

他的当事人根本不可能杀害珍妮弗，也不可能纵火。

His client simply couldn't have killed Jennifer, and he couldn't have started the fire.

他怎么可能同时出现在两个地方呢？

How could he have been in two places at once?

至于那只名叫 Rosie 的黄色拉布拉多犬，它曾对祖莫特的衣服发出汽油气味的警报，卡里戈只是指出，这些衣服已被提交至酒精、烟草、火器和爆炸物管理局的先进设备进行检测，结果完全未发现汽油痕迹。

And as for Rosie, the yellow lab who alerted to a gasoline smell on Zumot's clothes, Carrigo simply pointed out that those very clothes were submitted to a test on state of the art equipment of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, and they showed no evidence of gasoline at all.

ATF 的化学师有一套标准流程。

The ATF chemist has a protocol.

具体来说，检方也没有告诉陪审团的一点，而我们却指出了：ATF 明确规定，绝不能仅凭一只狗的警报就下结论。

Specifically, one of the things the prosecution also didn't tell this jury, which we brought out, was that the ATF also put out a protocol that said you never take a dog alert, a single dog alert, and draw a conclusion.

事实上，如果 ATF 的检测结果为阴性，就不应采纳狗的警报作为证据。

And in fact, if the ATF says negative, then you should not allow in the dog alert.

那么，人们为什么会相信狗而不是 ATF 呢？

So why would people believe the dog over the ATF?

再想想，人们养狗，往往会赋予狗超自然的能力。

Well, think once again you get into this idea of people have dogs.

他们总觉得狗拥有某种神奇的直觉。

They kind of ascribe supernatural powers to dogs.

我的意思是，我养了两只大狗。

Mean, you know, I've got two large dogs.

我经历过几起涉及狗证据的案件，尽管我非常爱我的狗，但我绝不会仅仅因为狗的证据就让某人定罪，剥夺他们的自由。

And been through a couple of cases with dog evidence, as much as I love my dogs, I'm certainly not gonna wanna convict somebody and put their liberty at stake based on dog evidence.

然而，在他陈述案件时，加里戈斯遇到了一个问题，他自己也清楚这一点。

Still, as he presented his case, Garrigos had a problem, and he knew it.

归根结底，这案子的核心是人格抹黑部分。

What it came down to was the character assassination block of the case.

我的意思是，这个案件的前两个部分都围绕所谓的科学证据展开。

I mean, the first two blocks of this case revolved around the what's so called scientific evidence.

而这些证据完全被推翻了。

And that was absolutely destroyed.

然后你就只剩下人格抹黑这一部分了。

And then you ended up with the character assassination block.

解决方案是什么？

The solution?

保罗·祖莫特本人似乎坚持要求出庭作证，向陪审团陈述自己的立场。

Paul Zumot himself appears to have demanded it, the chance to defend himself to the jury by testifying.

一些旁听庭审的人认为，辩护方已经成功制造了合理怀疑——尤其是对保罗而言，出庭作证风险极大，他的朋友纳基萨说道。

Some courtroom observers believed the defense had already created a reasonable doubt that testifying was, in fact, risky, especially for Paul, said his friend Nakisa.

了解保罗就像我了解的那样，以及他可能被误解的方式，我对保罗上庭作证感到非常不安。

Knowing Paul the way I know Paul and the way that he could be interpreted incorrectly, I was very nervous about Paul taking the stand.

无论风险如何，保罗都决心向陪审团讲述自己的版本。

Risky or not, Paul was determined to tell the jury his side of the story.

辩护律师马克·加里戈斯已尽力质疑检方对保罗·祖莫特的谋杀指控，主张检方既无确凿的科学证据，也无法证明保罗在珍妮弗被勒死、房屋被纵火时身处现场。

Defense attorney Mark Garrigos had done what he could to poke holes in the prosecution's murder case against Paul Zumot, arguing that the prosecution had no solid scientific proof evidence or Zumot was anywhere near Jennifer when she was strangled and the house was set on fire.

而且他反问，如果保罗袭击了珍妮弗，她难道不会进行任何反抗吗？

And anyway he asked, if Paul attacked Jennifer, wouldn't she have put up some kind of fight?

为什么保罗·祖莫特身上没有任何防御性的伤痕或抓痕？

Why were there no defensive marks or scratches scratches on Paul Zumot's body?

检方真的有足够证据吗？

Did the prosecution even have a case?

保罗·祖莫特不愿冒任何风险。

Paul Zumot wasn't going to take any chances.

事实上，他决心向陪审团讲述自己的版本。

In fact, he was determined to tell the jury his side of the story.

因此，加里戈斯安排了一位女同事来询问保罗。

So Garrigos assigned a female colleague to question Paul.

旁观者低声议论，这一定是个策略。

Must have been a strategy, whispered courtroom observers.

目的是向陪审团展示保罗能与女性良好互动。

A way to show the jury that Paul could interact well with a woman.

但这些旁观者错了，加里戈斯说。

But those observers were mistaken, said Caragos.

嗯，一般来说，我觉得直接询问不是我的强项，我当时专注于对证人的交叉质询。

Well, I generally, I don't think direct examination is my strong suit, and I was concentrating on cross examination of the witnesses.

保罗·祖莫特直视着陪审员的眼睛，告诉他们：我没有杀害珍妮弗·斯凯普斯，也没有放火烧房子。

So Paul Zumont looked the jurors in the eye and told them, I did not kill Jennifer Skipse, did not burn the house.

然后他情绪激动地告诉陪审团，尽管他们关系跌宕起伏，他真的深爱着珍妮弗。

And then he told them, emotions building to a fever pitch, how despite their roller coaster relationship, he truly loved Jennifer.

他的律师出示了一封她写给他的情书，他当场崩溃，泪如雨下。

His lawyer presented a love letter, in fact, that she'd written to him, and he broke down then, flood of tears.

我当时如释重负，心想，如果这个陪审团之前还对这个人是否涉案有丝毫怀疑，现在他们肯定能确定他无罪了，因为在我看来，他的话明显是真实的。

I was so relieved, and I thought, you know, if there was any way this jury thought this man was responsible for this, now they know for sure that he's not because it's so obvious to me that he's telling the truth.

但带着资深检察官的敏锐耳朵，听完整个过程的是检察官吉林厄姆。

But listening to all of this with his experienced ear was prosecutor Gillingham.

当你听说他要出庭作证时，一定相当高兴吧？

You must have been rather pleased when you heard he was going to testify.

我觉得这还是轻描淡写了。

I think that's an understatement.

我非常、非常高兴。

I was very, very pleased.

不仅如此，吉林厄姆说，这简直是一份礼物，一个意外的契机。

More than that, it was a gift, said Gillingham, an unexpected opportunity.

为什么？

Why?

因为检察官让保罗一直处在他想要的位置上，想问多久就问多久。

Well, the prosecutor had Paul right where he wanted him for as long as he wanted him.

进行了数小时的提问，尖锐的问题，设陷阱的问题，旨在让保罗崩溃并暴露吉林汉姆认为他控制欲强、脾气暴躁的特质。

There were hours of questions, tough questions, baiting questions, questions designed to make Paul crack and reveal what Gillingham believed to be a controlling personality and a red hot temper.

我的计划是梳理他生气时的表现，然后问他一些他根本无法给出好答案的问题。

My plan was to go through, how he acted when he was angry and then asked him questions that he couldn't have no good answers for.

比如，为什么那些短信都被删了？

For instance, why all those text messages are deleted?

这些问题他都无法回答，因为他根本没考虑过这些问题。

And those were questions he could not answer because he had not considered those questions.

经过在证人席上长达三天的折磨，保罗·祖马克的证词终于结束了。

After three long days in the hot seat, Paul Zumak's testimony was finally over.

他是否成功让陪审团相信他是无辜的？

Had he persuaded the jurors that he was innocent?

你觉得他

Do you

在证人席上有点急躁或傲慢吗？

feel he got a little

有点急躁或傲慢吗？

bit chippy or arrogant on the stand?

我不认为他傲慢，但我认为他明显很疲惫且不耐烦。

I don't think that he got arrogant, but I think clearly he was tired and he was exasperated.

他想讲述自己的故事。

He wanted to tell his story.

他的话总被打断。

He was being cut off.

但陪审团在拿到案件后表示，他们决心审视证据，而不仅仅是 courtroom theater。

But the jurors, once they got the case, said they were determined to look at the evidence, not just courtroom theater.

每个人都非常认真地审查证据，逐一讨论每位证人和每一个关键证据。

Everyone was very committed to going over the evidence and discussing each of the witnesses and each of the crucial pieces of evidence.

这真的令人鼓舞。

It was really encouraging.

他们决定仔细比较控方和辩方所声称的不同时间线，这一点至关重要。

And it was crucial they decided to compare very carefully the different timelines claimed by the prosecution and the defense.

因此，我们分析了他作证时所说的全天时间线，以及其他证词和证据，以验证或反驳。

So we analyzed the timeline for the entire day from his testimony where he said he was, and then other pieces of testimony and evidence, to either validate or contradict.

陪审团用不到十四小时就做出了

The jury took less than fourteen hours and came back with a

裁决，有罪。

verdict, guilty.

我只记得我听到了‘有罪’这个词，老兄。

All I remember was I heard that word guilty, man.

那一刻就像突然松了一口气，紧张感完全释放了。

It was just like this this just this relief this release of tension.

我对这个判决感到非常震惊。

I was very shocked by the verdict.

我觉得很多人对这个判决都很震惊，我的意思是，如果你全程旁听了数周的审判，根本无法想象他们怎么会得出这样的结论。

I think a lot of people were shocked by the verdict because, I mean, if you sat through the weeks and weeks of trial, it just it's inconceivable how they could get to the result that they got to.

但对于陪审员来说，短信问题以及保罗是否一整天都拿着珍妮弗的手机，远没有祖莫特在庭上的表现重要。

But to the jurors, the issues about text messages and whether Paul had Jennifer's phone all afternoon wasn't as important as Zumot on the stand.

这才是关键所在。

That's what made the difference.

比如，他的眼泪。

His tears, for example.

有时候我觉得自己太愤世嫉俗了，但我想，这确实是普遍的看法。

Sometimes I feel like I'm too cynical, but it was universally held opinion, I think.

整个陪审团都相信，那是刻意制造的时刻。

The entire jury believed that it was a manufactured moment.

他的证词有什么问题？

What was the problem with his testimony?

有两件事让我印象深刻。

There were two things that struck me.

一是他当庭崩溃时，在我看来并不像是真的。

One was when he broke down on the stand, and to me it didn't seem genuine.

二是他有机会告诉我们他当时在哪里、在做什么时，却三次对我们撒谎。

And the other portion of his testimony was when he had the opportunity to tell us where he was and what he was doing, he chose to basically lie to us three times.

我们通过手机记录和视频监控等确凿证据，证明了他确实对我们撒了谎。

And we were able to prove that he lied to us by the hard evidence that we had with the phone records and with the video surveillance and those items.

对我来说，这些事严重损害了他的可信度。

I just, to me, that hurt him very badly.

如果他没有作证，我不能确定，但我觉得我可能不会判他有罪。

If he hadn't testified, I can't say for sure, but I don't think I could have convicted him.

在量刑时，愤怒的保罗·祖莫特再次声称自己无罪，但他仍被判处二十五年到终身监禁，外加八年纵火罪刑期。

At his sentencing, an angry Paul Zumot again protested his innocence, but he was sent away for twenty five to life for murder, plus eight years for arson.

案子结束了吗？

Case closed?

嗯，还不完全是。

Well, not exactly.

2020年，一名联邦法官裁定祖莫特获得重审，认为检察官向陪审团提供了虚假证据，而祖莫特的辩护团队则提供了无效的辩护。

In 2020, a federal judge granted Zumot a new trial, ruling that prosecutors had presented false evidence to the jury, while Zumot's defense team provided ineffective counsel.

在2025年的重审中，保罗·祖莫特拥有了新的辩护团队和不同的策略。

At his retrial in 2025, Paul Zumot had a new defense team and a different strategy.

这次他没有出庭作证。

This time around he did not take the witness stand.

但陪审团得出的结论与第一次一致。

But the jury came to the same conclusion as the first one did.

他再次被判定有罪，并被判处三十年至终身监禁。

He was found guilty again and sentenced to thirty years to life.

在这场引发谜团的火灾之后，帕洛阿尔托小屋得到了修复。

After the fire that set this mystery in motion, the Palo Alto Cottage was repaired.

那里是否萌生了新的爱情？

New love, perhaps, growing in there?

年轻人仍然来到咖啡馆社交和吸水烟，而保罗，已不在了。

Young people were still coming to the cafe to socialize and smoke hookah, And Paul, gone.

就像那段炽烈却随受害者一同消散在烟雾中的恋情。

Like the romance that burned too bright before it vanished with its victim in a cloud of smoke.

我依然能听见她的声音，看见她的微笑。

And I can still hear her voice and see her smile.

我知道她就在这里。

I know she's here.
